One Yoga in Uptown (721 W 26th Street) will host a new communityKNIT project! Stop by and contribute your knits and purls. Also - One Yoga will feature a full exhibition of all the communityKNIT projects over the past two years at an exhibit this Fall....exhibition dates TBD.

Our communityKNIT kits at Anodyne and Chakra Khan have been slowly developing over the past several months. Thank you to all the knitters who have contributed to this project thus far....communityKNIT has been out there in the community now for almost 2 years.

We are pleased to announce that we are up to eight fully completed and beautifully eccentric scarves that will be up for auction this Fall with all proceeds to go to charity.

One Yoga in uptown will be holding an exhibit from mid-October to end of November 2011 of all the finished pieces so that the public can view these special pieces developed by many many talented hands. A reception and auction of the pieces will also take place in the Fall, date to be determined.

This has been an excited project that has also required patience in allowing these pieces to develop in their own time. Look for a knit kit coming to Anodyne in May with new summer cottons to knit and purl! And, One Yoga will also have a knit kit for yogis to contribute their stitches! Please stop by either place and help us along with your skills.

Look for pictures posted in May of all the lovely finished scarves we have created as a community thus far!

If you are interested in helping out with this project with donation of needles or yarn. Or you know of a place that a community KNIT kit would do well, please contact communityKNIT creator, Michelle at omwithmichelle@gmail.com.

About Community KNIT

The Community KNIT project is created to promote the idea of community working together creatively through craft and hand-made items. A series of strangers at random times knitting with their style and their craft in public cafes. In the end, we together create one finished piece that becomes a reflection of all the hands involved.
The goal, is ten community-knitted scarves by Spring 2010 which will be auctioned off to raise funds for a local charity.
Support us by stopping in to knit a few rows or a bunch of rows, donate yarn left over from your own knitting projects, and in the Spring keep watching for our auction of ten beautiful community-created scarves!
